54 Director's Report for 1916. 
depressed, undivided, obscurely 12-14-rayed stigma. Summit of 
ovary and stigma deep red. Fruit ovoid, 1 cm. high, 9 mm. wide. 
This species differs from all other known Hawaiian Araliacee 
in its inflorescence; a character which excludes it from the generic 
limits of Zetraplasandra as hitherto known. It does not appear 
to be very closely related to the other species, certainly not to the 
two known Kauai species, and only bears a superficial resemblance 
to 7. hawatiensis Gray in the pubescence. About a dozen trees 
were seen at the type locality, usually occuring as individuals in 
separated localities. Only one tree was seen at the Haupu Station, 
although probably others occur. All were uniform. The panicle 
is strictly pendulous, even when very young, those in the illustra- 
tion being bent in order to mount them on the herbarium sheet. 
Since writing the above, Mr. G. C. Munro has informed me 
that he has seen this tree on ridges, somewhere between Makaweli 
and Hanapepe on Kauai. [240]
